Chapter 779: 769. Guardsteal_1 Chapter 779: 769. Guardsteal_1 The live-stream audience was getting excited!

[What is it, what is it, what is it?!]

[Hurry up and get a closer look!]

[I bet it’s a treasure!]

Zhang Yanping was also ready to move in closer with his phone, but the next moment–

“Whoof whoof…”

All they saw was Liubao, the wise, bouncing off like he had hit a spring, his paws barely touching the undergrowth before he shot up high and then tore off running in circles around the area, his voice full of grievance.

During his show of sorrow, Zhang Yanping’s camera zoomed in, and everyone in the live-stream nearly died of laughter.

[Hahahaha…]

[Thought it was some treasure, turns out it’s a chestnut burl.]

[Liubao oh Liubao, what am I going to do with you?]

[Seeing Liubao’s agile figure and wise gaze, I knew this Chinese rural dog was extraordinary!]

[Never expected that like some people who are golden on the outside, this dog had his flaws inside, haha!]

[Liubao Liubao, what’s going on inside that head of yours?]

[Question, is Liubao the rural dog authentic? Has he not been mixed with Husky?]

[Liubao, haven’t you been guarding the Chestnut Garden all along? How come you still haven’t learned your lesson?]

[I suggest a strict investigation, this doesn’t seem like it hasn’t happened before.]

Surrounded by three dogs in the underbrush was actually a huge chestnut burl! It was even bigger than Zhang Yanping’s fist, genuinely a rarity.

The chestnut burl was still green, with only parts tinted with a brownish hue indicating ripeness, clearly just knocked down today during chestnut picking.

And now, with a stern face, Zhang Yanping was staring intently at Dabao and Erbao sitting properly to the side, their faces spelling innocence:

“What’s going on with you two? I tasked you with watching over Chestnut Garden, how come you’ve been feathering your own nest?”

“Such a big burl, the chestnuts inside must weigh half a jin! Do you know how much half a jin costs? Enough for you two to gnaw on a big bone for a good while.”

“Tell me, how often have you been engaging in this act of watching over the henhouse only to eat the chickens yourself?”

[Whoa! Those are some serious accusations, guarding but stealing and feathering one’s own nest.]

[Certainly. Coming across such a big burl, and the three of them trying to hide it… This kind of behavior can’t be allowed to start.]

[I think it doesn’t look like they were guarding but stealing. If they were used to stealing, how could they be at a loss with this burl?]

[Exactly! You guys saw how silly Liubao looked, as if it was his first time seeing this.]

[Then you haven’t seen Erha. Even if the chestnut has been stolen and eaten several times, it still feels like the first time when seen again.]

[Shut it! I won’t let you say that Liubao isn’t smart!]

[Nonsense, just look at our Liubao, with his soft ears, shiny fur, agile figure, and his eyes full of wisdom.]

At this moment, while Dabao and Erbao were still too scared to utter a word, the wise Liubao came limping over, whining softly.

When he saw Zhang Yanping, he used his wet, big eyes to look at him while letting out whimpers from his nostrils as if he had suffered the greatest injustice:

“Whine…”

Who could stand up against this?!

Zhang Yanping, also on the verge of reaching out and petting him on the head, managed to restrain himself, and at that moment pointed to the chestnut burl:

“Where did you steal this from?!”

Actually, seeing them clueless, it probably wasn’t stolen; it must have been knocked over during the chestnut picking.

But seeing the puppies like this, who could resist teasing them?

The next moment, Liubao gave a soft whine and simply lay on the ground, his front paws crossed and covering his eyes.

Of course, he hadn’t completely held it down; at the very least, everyone in the live broadcast could still see the eager eyes it was trying to peek out from beneath its paw.

[Liubao, it’s just a chestnut, was it really worth that effort?]

[It knelt down so suddenly, I don’t even know what to say.]

[Look at those eyes, who says our Liubao isn’t wise? Clearly, he’s playing the fool while being smart.]

[I’m dying of laughter, this is clearly trying to hide something too obvious.]

[Oh, Bao, you’re really locking the stable after the horse is stolen! At first, all three of you were suspects, but with you flopping down like that, everything’s been laid bare.]

[What’s with the live broadcast today, a lesson in idioms? What if I, being an illiterate, can’t join in?]

The barrage of comments instantly went haywire, but Liubao’s little eyes were extremely lively, impossible to block with his little paw; he caught Zhang Yanping’s gaze as he was being caught:

“Running away is useless, now tell me, have you stolen food before? Confess clearly, and I’ll let you off.”

Having said that, he even gave Dabao and Erbao a close-up on the live broadcast camera again.

But these two big dogs were too cunning, just sitting there unflinchingly, showing no sign of guilt.

Luckily, Liubao really wasn’t as shrewd, able to understand human speech but not completely grasping it.

Now, his paw deceptively pressed on his eyes; after exchanging looks with Zhang Yanping for a while, he suddenly sprang up, no longer feigning a limp.

Instead, he ran to the big chestnut tree in front, sniffing the ground left and right. Finally, he chose a spot, and without resting his recently injured paws, started to dig again.

Ah, the dust!

Zhang Yanping was about to stop him, but with just a shallow dig, some brown fragments that seemed like the brown husks of chestnuts were already visible in the hole.

And there was more than just one.

Zhang Yanping was instantly stunned.

So was the live broadcast room.

The next moment, a colorful fireworks special effect flashed through the broadcast, followed by a pinned message in colored text —

[Consider this a chestnut purchase, quickly have the Baos eat some for us to see!]

And below, the avalanche of comments erupted.

[Geez… a thousand bucks for a donation, these chestnuts are quite pricey.]

[Rich bro, give me a thousand, and I’ll eat them for you!]

[Thank you, generous donor, I want to see too]

[Hahaha, I’m also curious, how exactly do they eat these hard chestnuts?]

[Liubao, oh Liubao, how could you be such a halfwit!]

[Liubao might have dodged a bullet today, but Dabao and Erbao won’t let you get away with it…]

And Zhang Yanping couldn’t help but laugh and cry; at this moment, watching Liubao with an air of proud triumph, as if presenting a treasure, then glancing at his fluffy long tail sweeping back and forth on the ground, he couldn’t help but pat Liubao’s doggy head.

“You little rascal, you’ve really disgraced the pastoral dogs this time!”

Then he turned around, pointing at Dabao and Erbao:

“Come here! I don’t believe all of this was eaten by Liubao alone.”

Just look at this little bootlicker, who knew how it cozied up to Dabao and Erbao while in the mountains? And now it has betrayed them so easily…

With that intelligence, it still got chestnuts to eat? It couldn’t even pick up the shells.

Dabao and Erbao grumbled, finally walking over with their heads hanging low:

“Woof…”

“Woof!”

And Zhang Yanping smiled triumphantly: “Good! All suspects present, Dabao, Erbao, Liubao! The evidence of theft confirmed! I hereby declare, the trial begins now!”
